Would you care to back that up with a study comparing farms and farm practices? Like you’re telling me how cows are raised is completely independent of the CO2 process. There’s no difference between.
Farm A: Natural farm, no fertilizer inputs, no feed inputs, rotating pastures, butchered on site, sold to a local market.
Farm B. A start up funded by the Brazilian government, gifted 100 acres of rainforest, burned it down and added grass seed and fertilizer. Purchased corn from a different South American country to finish the product. Had the beef shipped across the country for slaughter, had the beef shipped across the world for sale.
Yes certainly no difference here. Both of these farms are the same in terms of emissions…
You are right, the second farm would produce beef which emit a lot more co2. However, even with the best practices the beef stay way more polluting than any other food as their emissions do not go below 40kg/co2 per kg of meat. This is due to the fact that a big part of the emissions are due to methane emitted by cows.
Local meat makes very little difference in terms of emissions
